Reviews
"Teenage Dreams is a vital contribution to our historic understanding of the US culture wars from the 1980s to the present moment. This rich analysis uncovers a wealth of youth activism around sexuality, revealing how we might benefit if we heard the voices of youth who are typically left out of public conversations on their own sexuality."- Julie Bettie, author of Women without Class: Girls, Race, and Identity
"Teenage sexuality has long been a site of contention in US politics and popular culture. Examining policies and popular ideologies starting in the 1980s, Charlie Jeffries brings to light political and social histories that have long restricted teenage girl sexuality. Jeffries' research into how multiple influencers of US policy have denied teen girls access to sex-positive education and information is as timely as it is informative."- Rebekah J. Buchanan, author of Writing a Riot: Riot Grrrl Zines and Feminist Rhetorics
